Bedu is pretty much done and ready for inspection.
Cheers
I'll look him over in detail tonight or tomorrow, but one detail jumped out at me at first glance:
Studded leather isn't available in Iskandria; it's replaced by leather scale. It has the same bonus to AC but it's 10 gp more (unfortunately). You can see its full stats in my post above under the New Armors spoiler tag.
No problem.
I meant to ask you about that. Sounds interesting, though it can sometimes be difficult to get hold of specific English books over here in the Czech Republic. Can you give me a quick plot outline?
Two couples, Amy and Jeff, Stacy and Eric, travel to Cancun for a month before going off to college. They meet up with Mathias, a German, who's brother has gone missing. Together, along with a Greek who calls himself Pablo and doesn't speak English or German, they make their way into the heart of the Yucatan, Coba, to look for Henrich.Warned by locals, by their taxi driver, and by the Mayans near the archeological dig, the six tramp forward into the jungles, determined to find Henrich. When they step foot onto the archeological site at a vine covered hill, its too late for warnings. Now they're trapped, unprepared for more than a day hike, with no one but the Greek's partners possibly knowing where they are, and the Mayans won't let them leave the hill.
And there's something else on the hill with them, a sinister presence of hunger and evil that lurks inside the beautiful vines. Trapped, thirsty, hungry, alone, and frightened, the six will desperately try anything to discover the secret of missing Henrich, and what lies in store for the rest of them.
I'm about half way through it, and would say it's okay. I picked it up because it's supposed to be good & scary and I've been looking for a good horror book, but while it has been a decent page turner, it's not sending shivers down my spine. It's basically built on the locked in a haunted house premise, and the opening and characters are reminiscent of the movie "Hostel."
If you can't find it and really want to read it, let me know and I can send it to you.
On a similar note, your setting also calls to mind "The Elf Queen of Shannara," which is set on a jungle island and involves a group trying to avoid all sorts of nasty demons with sharp teeth. Lots of good Iskandria type stuff there, which was also recently brought to mind when I saw this picture on the Paizo Blog.

Radavel, you're in if you're still interested. Head over to the discussion thread with your character idea.
We still need a cleric of some kind - you and FabesMini can fight it out to see who gets to play it.
Two men enter, one man leaves. As a cleric.
